Sal, any plans for more G10/Cruwear Seki models?
Sal,
It seems like the G10 Cruwear Stretch XL is a big hit. Selling out at every dealer so far, even DLT Trading. Are you planning on additional models in this combo? I know sales on G10 models out of Seki have been slow in the past, but I think the added value of Cruwear paired with the tough Peel Ply G10 scales in a nice gray shade have breathed new life into Seki G10 models.
I'd love to see the G10 Delica & Endura return in this combo, but maybe we could also see an Endela and Straight Spine Stretch? A Wharnie Delica and Wharnie Endela would be amazing as well. And since I am throwing out requests, I might as well throw the Jester and Wharnie Manbug in the mix!
Thoughts? Also, any plans for any Cru-carta models in the Seki lineup?

I would probably buy a Straight Spine Stretch and a Dragonfly in this combo.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I think I've seen Sal say something to the effect that the Endela is a better seller than the Stretch 2. The Stretch has gotten multiple fancier G-10 variants.
The Endela has only had one fancy version of which I am aware, the knifecenter exclusive pakkawood one.
Someday I would love to see a titanium Endela or a G-10 Endela, especially the wharncliffe variants if the sales data warrants such.

The Endela feels better in my hand than the Stretch, so I'd be more interested in a G10 Endela.
Also, the Cruwear Stretch XL is still in stock at KSF if anyone is still looking.

I would be so down for a production Endura 4 in Cru-Wear/gray G10.

I’ll take it in a g10 calypso if possible.
Current “dream collection” of knives
temperance 1, lil temperance 1 serrated leaf, black micarta calypso jr & calypso, cocobolo kopa, stainless serrated harpy, stainless cricket
Re: Sal, any plans for more G10/Cruwear Seki models?
I'm all for a Police G10 with the original blade profile.
Of course the Ulize would also be awesome in this combo.

Classic drop point Stretch. Only the “connaisseurs” like that blade shape and Sal is one of them. That ss Stretch might be a better seller but the drop point is the real deal.

Than I must be a connaisseure too, since I still prefer the classic shape
That said: I also came to really appreciate the acute tip on my Stretch XL.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I prefer the Straight Spine version, but i'd get the OG in this combo. Pretty much any Seki model in this and/or Cru-carta is getting my money.

I also like acute tips but Stretch XL is a different animal. I wouldn’t even call it a Stretch, it’s more of a LW backlock Military. The original Stretch was Sal’s pet project and even though it was designed as a hunting folder it became the favorite of many, due to it’s slicing capabilities. It took a long time to grow on me but now I fancy that funky blade shape. It’s so … Spyderco

Re: Sal, any plans for more G10/Cruwear Seki models?
You & I both dude!!! That big C-54 Calypso I think is one of the best "In House" Spyderco designs ever. And one of those made with Cruwear and a high quality G-10 handle would be the "Cat's Meow".
Oh by the way how many here liked the recent C-60 Cruwear Ayoob model that we were recently blessed with? I think it would be hard to top that one. But what the heck!!??? I'm open to more Cruwear Sprint Runs or even full production runs for that matter.
Re: Sal, any plans for more G10/Cruwear Seki models?
Count me among them.
I have a normal and XL straight-spine Stretch2, but I’m moved to ask why every model needs to have a straight(ish)-spine.
I love my PM2s, Millies, Enduras, and Delicas, but hey, a classic G10 in K390 should come next…
